The Mountain Pygmy possum is not restricted to the plum-pine. Mountain pygmy possums eat invertebrates including the Bogong moth, which migrates annually from the tablelands and lowland pastures of New South Wales to Australia's alpine region in the south-east, where it spends the summer before returning north again in autumn. This is its main source of food. It also eats fruits, nuts, nectar and seeds. The fruits and seeds of the mountain plum-pine, Podocarpus lawrencei, are especially important for the mountain pygmy possum in the summer and autumn when the Bogong moth is absent.
